I just tried with the 18.08.2 AppImage. Created "tes?u" folder. Put in 1 clip. Open Kdenlive and import that clip into the bin and drag it onto the timeline. I see the clip on project and clip monitor.
Try with the AppImage.

Thank you for your suggestion. I change the folder name so i have no problem with theprogram. But I found this solution very hard. It takes my time. So I report the problem for other people.

I will try again.

I have just tried with the lastest appimage. This time after I add the clip, a dialog says the clip is invalid. Again, without questionmark there is no problem.

Thanks for hte help.
Confirmed. If the path or the clip contains a no standard unicode character the clip get not viewed.
